He did the formal structure while she filled it with free-flowing plantings. in her life, Jekyll was a landscape painter and her favorite subject was the rural cottage gardens of Surrey with their exuberant color and unpretentious, homespun arrangements.

By Maureen Gilmer Do It Yourself Network At the end of the 19th censtury, the future of the English garden was hotly debated as the style left Victorian ideas behind and embraced the arts and crafts movement. It was also the time of a rising middle class and suburban family life. In the midst of the chaos rose a famous partnership that would resolve the conflict and give birth to a vibrantly unique style. It would take the emphasis off the garden as something to be viewed and transform it into something to be lived in and experienced year-round. transition is credited to building and landscape architeet Edwin Lutyens and artist Gertrude Jekyll.

They would become the Mars and I Venus of the English garden revolution a century ago. Together they coined the term "farmhouse vernacular" to describe the concept behind their collaborations. Lutyens was the masculine mind, an architect who created rigid space and form. He retained the formality of his predecessors but compartmentalized it. This was based on the farms in rural Getting kids into gardening Minneapolis-St.

Paul Star Tribune Kids and gardening are a natural fit. After all, gardening involves water and dirt. Children can lend a hand with many garden chores. And the fruits of their labors ripe tomatoes, blooming zinnias or towering sunflowers may just sow the seeds for a lifelong hobby. Some tips: Choose a small, flat, sunny site.

Label or mark the garden or pot with the child's name. Plant kid-friendly plants. Vegetables lettuce, peas, radishes, tomatoes, cucumbers and beans. Flowers sunflowers, hostas, petunias, begonias, marigolds, zinnias and snapdragons. Don't overdo.

Make it relaxing and positive. Take plenty of breaks. Be hands-on. Allow the child to plant, mulch, weed and water. Leave room for failure.

One wilted snapdragon will help kids learn what happens when plants aren't watered. Allow Focus on the child's development, not on growing perfect plants. Mars will ensure that the site functions and that it is practical, simple and strong. Venus will add the romance through a patchwork of beautiful plants and flowers. England.

Many of them are very old and expanded incrementally for hundreds of years. On these sites were remnant walls of Elizabethan fortifications, ruined silos, courtyards, arches and assorted old buildings. These stone or brick constructions served to define a series of smaller spaces between them, much like rooms of a rambling house. While the great estate gardens were a single open and majestic space that emphasized the grandiose notions of the owner, Lutyens preferred to break the space into smaller units that were more i in scale with human comfort. Though the overall landscape might be incredibly monumental, its spaces were intimate and arranged for living.

But it was Jekyll who redefined the way gardens were planted. Hers was undeniably the Venus point of view. Earlier the series of compartments flowed into one another so successfully that the landscape was perceived as a single integral environment. Since the birth of the Lutyens-Jekyll style, it has dominated the English garden scene. It inspired the famous Sissinghurst Castle in Kent, created by another Mars and Venus couple, Vita SackvilleWest and Harold Nicholson.

Hidcote Manor, on every garden tour, is yet another compartmentalized garden. And in England, where all things are incredibly expensive, this model perhaps dominates the contemporary gardens from London townhouses to the suburbs and countryside more than any other influence. If you and your spouse or partner are planning a new garden, learn from this Mars and Venus formula. Mars will ensure that the site functions and knowledge of light and color, she planted Lutyens' spaces with seeming wild abandon, almost as though she defied his rigidity. But this did not result in a hodgepodge mixture, but great swaths of hue that were bright and bold and undeniable.

Yet all was carefully conceived and arranged with gentle precision. Her favorite palette was Taming By Mary Hunt If the paper monster has you buried under an avalanche of receipts, bank statements, ATM slips, investment records, paycheck stubs and bills, the good news is that you can probably throw most of it away without worry. But before you fire up the shredder, you need to know what to toss, what to keep and for how long. Step 1 Toss all you Monthly: Once you have recorded the amounts and reconciled your bank and credit card statements, you can shred ATM receipts, bank deposit slips, credit card receipts and sales receipts at the end of each month. Exception: Keep receipts for purchases that may be tax deductible, those that involve a warranty, and any item for which the replacement cost exceeds the deductible on your homeowners' or renters' insurance.

Yearly: Once you receive and reconcile your W-2 against your final pay stub, you can toss your paycheck stubs for the year. The same goes for other statements that detail the entire year's activity on the largely old, well-known perennials and British natives that had been loved among cottagers for many centuries. She did not believe in becoming indentured to recalcitrant exotics. Jekyll viewed each of her gardens as a fine landscape painting. Color, balance and composition resulted in a new palette for each compartment.

Yet when viewed as a whole, that it is practical, simple and strong. Venus will add the romance through a patchwork of beautiful plants and flowers. But remember that like any solid human relationship, a great garden requires an equal proportion of both points of view. And in the end, the garden, as a child of this balanced coupling, will prove beautiful, well adjusted, functional and perfectly satisfying. paperwork monster EVERYDAYCHEAPSKATE final end-of-the year statement, such as monthly credit card and mortgage statements, phone and utility bills, and quarterly and monthly investment reports.

Step 2 Keep what you must. Three to seven years: Hang on to year-end statements (credit card accounts, mortgage statements, investments, W-2s, 1099s) that recap the year's activities for at least three years, canceled checks and receipts for deductible expenses, retirement account contributions, charitable donations, child-care bills, mortgage interest and all other items that support your income tax filings. The IRS has three years to examine your tax return for errors and up to six years if there's reason to suspect that you underreported your gross income by 25 percent or more. Until all possible audit windows close, you should retain all supporting documents. Indefinitely: Keep tax returns for the long haul and receipts for major purchases and home improvements as long as you own them.

In the event of an insurance claim, you may need to prove the purchase or your heirs will need to know how much you paid to determine the profit for tax purposes. Step 3 Pick a spot. If you don't have a desig- can. nated place for paperwork, it's going to end up in piles all over the house. The secret for taming the paper monster is to designate one room, corner, drawer, cabinet or closet where you can store all of your bills, current records and paperwork.

You'll need a place to write, file folders, some kind of box or container to hold them and, of course, a trash can. If you will be keeping a paper for more than one month, create a file folder it can be held in. One folder might be labeled "Tax deductible," another "Insurance," and so on. Step 4 Stick to it. Get into a routine of tossing what you can, then filing the rest.

Keep your system simple and you'll be more likely to stick with it. You'll be amazed at the difference a little organization will make in your life. You'll be less likely to misplace bills, miss payment deadlines or forget to take valuable tax deductions. But the big payoff will come in your peace of mind. The EXTRA FLAVOR!
